Today, increasing costs and environmental concerns have forced to use energy efficiently in the buildings. Universities with high energy consumption have become the focus in order to save energy in the building sector. The efficient use of energy in universities will alleviate the economic burden of energy costs on the university budget as well as an important step for sustainable university criteria. Therefore, in this study, Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University’s (KMU) energy situation was revealed and energy efficiency potential was examined. Firstly, the energy consumption values used in the buildings belonging to KMU settlement were determined, regular measurements were taken using appropriate equipment (thermal camera, flue gas analyzer, ultrasonic flow meter etc.) at energy consumption points and productivity improvement projects were proposed for these points. According to the measurement results, it is determined that the energy consumption value of the university reached to 1422 tons equivalent petrol (TEP) annually and energy saving potential could be obtained up to 18%.
